Smith v. General Casualty Insurance Company, 2000 WI 127, 239 Wis. 2d 646, 619 N.W.2d 882
Wis. Stat. § 632.32(4)(a)2.b. mandates uninsured motorist coverage where an unidentified hit-and-run vehicle strikes an intermediate vehicle that is in turn propelled into the insured's vehicle; the statutory 'physical contact' element of a hit-and-run is satisfied in such a chain-reaction collision. Where the statute mandates coverage, narrower policy language purporting to require direct contact with the insured vehicle does not control. Reversing the court of appeals.
